Unto Tommy's smiling mother
Biddy rushed mid pensive walls,
And declared she wud no longer
Shtay where cats have devils tailsI''
Vain was coaxing to retain her,
So to Pumpkinville "goodby"
Babe she, on that fated sv'ning
Ofthe Fourth day of July.
As the purple shades Of twilight
lowered soft and darkly nigh,
And, thank Heav' nj at last was over
Punk and powder-Fourth' July
Wicked Tommy and his comrade,
With malicious unconsarn,
Lit their final niger chaser"
In the hay loft of a barn.
Both the culprits soon were rescued
From the barn of blazing hay,
Then by Tommy's wrathful daddy,
In n state of wild diSmay.
Never more shall dimes or pennies
Fill up Tommy's bank to buy
Fireworks-if his daddy knows it.
On a future Fourth July.

THE FOURTH IN CANAAN.

The regulation torrid and sultry Fourth, accompanied by thunder show CTS in the afternoon and evening to dis perse picnic parties and prevent even- ing festivals and fireworks, graciously gave place to delightful day with a strong breeze and beautiful moonlight evening. The fre-cracker nuisance aboundod as usual until midnight, and came near causing confagration at about eight o'clock, g. m., at which hour James Drake fortunately discover ed fire on the roof of Frank Coon house adjoining the Methodist church. The alarm of fire was given Canaan hose company responded quickly, stretched line of hose from Q hydrant on Main street to MT Coon's house, but did not flood the house and thus ruin ceilings, carpets and furniture, as the fire was kept under control and soon extinguished, by turning the stream of water into 8 tub from which 1t was con- veyed to the roof in pails by forming a line and passing the pails from hand to hand. A goodly portion of the roof was chopped away to reach the fire under the shingles, but the house and contents were otherwise .uninjured. Burning fire-crackers on the roof of Miss Norton's millinery shop and on the veranda of Mrs Adelaide Watson's s dwelling were discovered in time to be stamped out without giving general alarm.
 | Quite number visited Twin Lakes. Some remained there all day but the majority returned in time to witness the base ball game at p. m., between the Canaan nine and the Weatogue nine, in which the former were victorious by a score of IT to 16.
 All the dwellers in the land of Canaan, aswen as many from neighboring towns, assembled in the evening to witness the fireworks in front of town hall. The pyrotechnic display was very fine: What it lacked in variety was made up in quantity, and although the bright moonlight detracted somewhat from the appearance, yet the exhibition was very satisfactory. The precaut1on had been
 taken to bring out the hosc cart and
 wet the roof of buildings in the vicinity, and thus lessen the danger of fire. During the evening the V. I. associa- tion dispensed cake, ice cream and lemonade at their rooms in town hall building. They were so we'll patronized that their supplies gave out before all were served, but the unlucky ones bore their disappointment philosophically.
 Everyone feels thankful that the Fourth passed of without any accidents
 or serious confagration.
